I currently have some crappy JVC marshmallows... looking to upgrade just a bit.
40% listen to jazz/classical
30% listen to rock/pop/hip pop
25% gaming
5% movies
In terms of time spent listening in front of computer vs out and about, it's about 75%/25% computer/outside. Outside is of course, noisy, but in front of the computer it's quiet.
Budget is ~$100, can be flexible.
In terms of ear sensitivity, I have many years of classical/jazz instrument training, so I figure I'm more sensitive than most. Prefer less bass, clearer highs.
From brief perusal of this forum, I see the AD700s being recommended like crazy for gaming, as well as Sennheiser 555s. Now I know comparing open air cans to IEMs is apples to oranges, but as you all probably know, triplefi 10s were only $100 on amazon recently, and on headfi/ebay you can pick it up for $125.
I only want to buy one new audio upgrade (for now), so what do you recommend?
1) AD700s
2) TF10s
3) Sennheiser
4) something else
